Why choose an international school in Australia?

Finding the right school for your child is one of the major concerns for many international families when relocating to a new country or city and they can be confident to find a wide range private international schools top choose from. These schools typically offer different curricula, with the most popular being the British, American and International Baccalaureate (IB).

Study in Australia

Studying in Australia offers international students excellence in learning, terrific opportunities to engage in extra-curriculum activities with friends, and an accepting learning environment within a multicultural society. Private boarding schools offer the highest level of academic learning with many students from these schools consistently achieving the best results in state or national examinations.

International Environment

Students come from almost every country in the world, especially China, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Greece, Germany, France, Russia, Turkey, the Netherlands, South Africa, Polynesia, and New Zealand. Since Australia has embraced becoming a multicultural society, even the youngest students are taught to accept people from other cultures and nationalities. It is part of the national curriculum in every school. This means your child will make friends easily, which is essential within a boarding school. It is likely there will be other children from your country within the same school, which can help your child to settle down and enjoy school. Although teachers will only use English to teach a class, students will find many teachers and other students have come from other countries and are able to converse in other languages during non-class times within the boarding school.

Unique Australian Experiences

Australia offers students some very unique experiences, partly because of the landscape and the animals that are only found in this country, including kangaroos, koalas, echidnas, platypus, Tasmanian devils, and emus.

  • Tom, Greene’s alumnus: “I am an alumnus of Greene’s, and have been a doctor for 20 years. I have a lot to thanks Greene’s and the tutors for, having gone from an E grade in June to a B in the same November! As I recall I had an hour per week physics, as well as the occasional practical, and then a lot of homework in between. This worked well for me.” (2011)

That’s amazing because any question that you have, you can get the answer to. In one tutorial you can study a new topic and in another you can say “I’m not really clear about this topic” and you can take another look at it.” (2023)

  • Our son is 8 years in BISP, next year graduating the IB program. We are so lucky being a part of the school community, having all the experiences in all offered sports, singing , art and foreign languages! Growing in multinational, tolerant, warm hearted environment, learning to give, to think criticaly, to enjoy friendship, active life style and celebrate diversity has been the best choice of school and we would do it again! Love our school! My son hopes it is still here for his future children after 20 years ?
